### Description (declared)

# recall-mcp

> **One shared, layered, local-first brain for every AI CLI you use.**
> Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Continue, Zed — they all forget. recall-mcp is the memory they share.

## Quick start

```bash
# Install
pipx install recall-mcp

# Wire it into Claude Code (one-time)
echo '{"mcpServers":{"recall-mcp":{"type":"stdio","command":"recall-mcp"}}}' >> ~/.claude.json

# Restart Claude Code. Done.
```

That's it. Every conversation now writes to and reads from the same persistent brain — and so do Gemini CLI, Cursor, and any other MCP-aware client you wire up the same way.

Every AI CLI has the same blind spot: each new session starts with amnesia. Native `save_memory` tools store flat lists that bloat the system prompt over time. Cloud memory services need accounts, paid tiers, and trust your data to a vendor.

**recall-mcp gives you one brain shared by every MCP-aware AI client:**

- 🧠 **7 memory layers** — vector similarity, BM25 keyword, entity graph, temporal lineage, importance scoring, fo…
